Book excerpt: This book brings together research and studies in the fields of organised crime and of ‘green criminality’ against the natural environment. By bringing the research traditions of organised crime and ‘green criminology’ into closer proximity and combining contributions on traditional organised crime and ecological crime in one volume, it questions the need to draw artificial dividing lines between criminological sub-disciplines. Including chapters on the illegal trade in cobalt, in stolen motor vehicles, the illegal dog market, cross- border amber trafficking, deforestation and environmental harm in the Norwegian industrial salmon farming, the book offers an important rapprochement between studies in organised crime and green criminology, and considers the operational differences between underworld and upperworld criminal economies.
